I stayed at and dived with Polaris for 5 nights in January 2024 and had an amazing experience which was the highlight of my 10-night trip to Bohol. I will definitely be returning to Polaris (and would encourage others to visit too) for the reasons described below. Rooms: I stayed in one of the treehouse rooms (fan-only, cold water showers) and it was spacious with a wide balcony which was perfect for lounging during the day. The room itself (from the bedroom to the bathroom) was basic but very clean - the staff obviously take pride in maintaining their rooms to a high standard. The first few nights without AC were a little warm, but I got used to it pretty quickly - it's nice to wake up and not feel cold. Food: Food at the resort was excellent. Everything is prepared fresh-to-order and they even have a wood-fired pizza oven. I tried a variety of dishes (sandwiches / pastas / pizzas / soups) and everything was tasty and fresh. There aren't really any restaurants on Cabilao (aside from at the few neighboring resorts) so I had every meal at Polaris. Prices are reasonable for the quality (remember that a lot of ingredients need to be brought over by boat). Diving: Polaris' dive centre is excellent. There weren't many other divers while I was there, so I dived in a group with just my DM (Lito). Lito was one of the best DMs I have had the pleasure of diving with and an overall great guy - he was excellent at spotting interesting macro / small critters - we saw pygmy seahorses, ghost pipefish, countless nudis. All of the dive sites are within a 5-10 minute speedboat ride away, with mostly wall dives along the steep drop-off surrounding the island. The walls are stunning with healthy coral (huge gorgonia), crevices to explore, and abundant marine life (in terms of larger species we saw turtles, great barracuda, huge titan triggerfish).

The place is very well maintained. The people are very friendly and supportive for everything you need. We enjoyed our stay a lot!

Everything is good! Food!View!People!Sun!Sea!

The view was amazing. And the staff were so friendly. I loved the dogs, they were so sweet. The food and drinks in their restaurant was great and really good value for money.

The room was clean and comfortable, accessable to the city.

The owner was very friendly and helpful. Gave recommendations and tips for food and how much to pay for transport. Room was big and modern

Don’t Let the Distance from the City Stop You from Booking This Place A quick look at the map tells you Hotel Gabriella isn’t in the city center—and that’s exactly why it’s so good. It strikes the perfect balance between peaceful quiet and modern comfort. The hotel is stylish, the pool is awesome, and the rooms are spacious and incredibly comfortable. Plus Grab/Pedi are very cheap in the Philippines.. Every room comes with air conditioning, hot water, a hair dryer, vanity desk, and a balcony—everything you need for a relaxing stay. The staff are polite, helpful, and genuinely welcoming, which makes the experience even better. Honestly, there’s nothing negative I can say about this place. If we ever visit Bohol again, Hotel Gabriella will definitely be our home away from home. Highly recommended—book it without hesitation.

Massive comfy bed, great location, quiet, warm shower, clean linen and bath towels, good breakfast and coffee and friendly staff. Also theres a direct line from the room phone to the Mang Inasal downstairs... What else is there to say? Id happily stay here again and would recommend to anyone for a short to medium trip.
